Alhassane Bah, Quality and Environment Manager at Metal Guinee, marked a historic day and an achievement after great efforts made by the company to establish itself as a quality reference in Guinea.

“It is with great pleasure and deep pride that I stand before you to celebrate this historic moment for our organization. METAL GUINEA signed an ISO 9001 certification audit contract with the CAPCERT France firm.

The CAPCERT organization is accredited by the French accreditation committee (COFRAC). It specializes in certification audits and conformity assessments. From January 29 to February 2, 2024, the certification audit was conducted by CAPCERT at METAL GUINEA sites.

The audit was conducted under good conditions, METAL GUINEA demonstrated compliance with the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard version 2015 within the certification scope: Production and marketing of Paint, Steel, and Concrete products,” he recalled. Continuing, this quality control manager mentioned the opportunities provided by this quality certification to Metal-Guinea.

“We are gathered tonight to receive the ISO 9001 certification version 2015, which is a recognition that confirms that our Quality Management System (QMS) is effective in meeting the requirements of clients and partners. Obtaining this certification is not just a formal achievement, but also an opportunity:

✓ To ensure the continuity and sustainability of our activities across all our sites,

Present at this ceremony, the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Small and Medium Enterprises Dr. Diaka Sidibé congratulated the Metal-Guinea group for its certification.

“It is with a sense of honor that I speak of the ISO 9001 certification of a major player in our industrial sector in our country, and this comes a week after my appointment as Minister responsible for the Department of Industry (…). This is also an opportunity for me to congratulate the CEO and all the employees of Metal-Guinea, for the journey they have taken, the rigor and professionalism they have shown to achieve ISO-9001 quality certification (…)

You can be proud of this achievement and congratulate yourselves. Ladies and gentlemen, employees of Metal-Guinea, elevate your products to this level of quality and competitiveness, which will undoubtedly ensure better profitability for your company. With a larger and satisfied clientele beyond borders with a Made in Guinea label, what a national pride we thank you for and encourage you for the continuation of this quest for international standards,” she declared.

On his part, Prime Minister Bah Oury urged other Guinean companies to follow in the footsteps of the Metal-Guinea group to enhance the development of the Guinean industry worldwide. “By obtaining the ISO-9001 version 2015 certification, Metal-Guinea paves the way for all companies to commit to quality. Because competition is no longer just national, it is continental, and even global.

The ISO-9001 certification shows that quality is also in Guinea, and it makes our products competitive. Economically, Guinea can now benefit more from this attractiveness if all or the majority of private sector establishments commit to this path. I encourage you to follow in the footsteps of Metal-Guinea because this will strengthen Guinea’s industrialization and create more wealth to generate more jobs and opportunities for the youth of the country to say I can stay in Guinea, I can find work in Guinea, and I can be as competitive as those abroad.

Congratulations Mr. Robert Florent, CEO of Metal Guinea, you pave the way for many Guinean companies, I hope that soon we will see more companies having their ISO-9001 certifications,” wished the Prime Minister.
